I dont understand why the author email only show in the acp listing, what a hassle to type that info just for ... yourself ? (well acp access...)

If its a antispam measure, first, could be bot/guest disabled (or even better... a perm?), then, its not very reliable anyhow, since the download link is there and 99% of times you get the author email, in the xml

So my question is why email show only on acp?

Im doing many additions to this mod (i got 1.0.5) but im not super confortable in making any instruction for addon or patch or whatever (not realy having time for that), if you are interrested, when im done i can send over my php files, template and the table columns

I dont know if its possible to get the editor in the acp ? (sry noob question...) but it would come in handy, to past in bbcodes (php for exemple)

Another noob question, whats the difference between a mediumtext field and a longtext one, i guess ammount of caracter you can pass in, but whats the limit, im going for troubles if i put too many text in comments ? (i copied your fields over many times for my needs)

And last, what about to sort mods in the acp view? (by version or author for exemple)I saw some comments on the code about that, but not sure how to use it

i added that so if you want to quickly contact the mod author via email you can do so rather then opening the xml file etc. if you do not feel it to be of value, no need to fill it in

i don't really have time to look through your code either to see what you changed. i don't think i will be adding anything to this at the moment anyway as i would like to get this validated and released now...

of course it would be possible but i didnt see the need to do that as it is only supposed to be a simple mods database.

i am not sure yet, maybe at a later version

arukAdo wrote:Great mod btw, very handy

thanks, initially i only wanted to keep it jsut for me but people were asking for it so i released it.

I feel email as valuable ... if its also used in the users views, my question was rather, was it to counter spam (or not let access to mods authors emails) that you dont used it in modsdb_view.html ?

I see some code with comments for sorting in acp, should i use it or it doesnt work?

For the editor i meant that now i have like 5 text fields, with at least one i probably need to type a bit inside, instead of opening a editor in a seperate window to get the bbcodes, i was rather thinking to opening the editor directly into acp, well if its possible then i will find how too

Ill keep my changes for me then fine hehe, i forgot its called "simple" mod database, i tripled infos

no, it was not to counter spam. the only reason i had it in the acp is that it would only be of use to whoever installs the mod, not who can see the listing, i might add it to the mod detail page for founders only like the installation date.

which code with comments are you referring to? i am probably being blind but i cant see a reference to sorting in the acp. it just sorts by mod title.

it is possible

if you want to put it out as addon feel free to do so as long as you leave credit to the original mod ;P

Dont know what to tell you, i dont see why they refuse it, the mod just work fine and is nice .... shame on them :/ Mine look like this now

For the users view, i think you need to remove the long description, i simply doubled the field "description", and now in the first, i put a very small one, the second i display it in the mod details (full description from xml)
